Abstract

Objective: The objective is to produce a short instrument for measuring the subjectively experienced articulation handicap, i.e. the extent to which physical, functional, and emotional handicaps caused by a physical deficit are subjectively experienced.

Methods: The items for the short instrument were selected from the 30 items of the Articulation Handicap Index (AHI) by removing items on the basis of item-total correlations using data from 113 cancer survivors. Reliability and validity of the sum score of the corresponding item selection were used for determining the optimal item selection. This optimal item selection was compared with the AHI in an RCT with patients undergoing phoniatric routine diagnostics.

Results: With only 12 items left, the measurement instrument was still as reliable and valid as the AHI. With less than 12 items, reliability and validity decreased. In the RCT between the AHI (n = 41) and the 12-item selection (n = 40), reliability and validity of both instruments were the same, but processing times differed (AHI; 3.84 min; 12-item selection: 2.02 min).

Conclusion: The 12-item selection, further referred to as the Articulation Handicap Scale with 12 items (AHS-12), provides nearly as much information as the original AHI.

12项发音障碍量表(AHS-12):发音障碍指数(AHI)的简写形式。

目的:目的是制作一个简短的工具来测量主观体验的发音障碍，即主观体验由身体缺陷引起的身体，功能和情感障碍的程度。方法:使用113例癌症幸存者的资料，从发音障碍指数(AHI)的30个项目中，根据项目总量相关性剔除项目，选择短仪项目。采用相应项目选择的总得分的信度和效度来确定最优项目选择。该最佳项目选择与接受语音常规诊断的患者的随机对照试验中的AHI进行了比较。结果:仅剩12项，测量仪器仍与AHI量表一样可靠有效。少于12项时，信度和效度下降。在AHI (n = 41)和12项选择(n = 40)的RCT中，两种工具的信度和效度相同，但处理时间不同(AHI;3.84分钟;12项选择:2.02分钟)。结论:12项选择，进一步称为12项发音障碍量表(AHS-12)，提供的信息几乎与原来的AHI一样多。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
